The View from the Ground: Experiences of Civil War Soldiers (New Directions in Southern History)
Aaron Sheehan-Dean
Civil War scholars have long used soldiers' diaries and correspondence to flesh out their studies of the conflict's great officers, regiments, and battles. However, historians have only recently begun to treat the common Civil War soldier's daily life as a worthwhile topic of discussion in its own right.
